Similarly, they are characterised by the absence of involvement of the lateral or medial column of the humerus above the olecranon fossa.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">CT scanning is often added to plain X-ray for diagnosis of these injuries. It enables better definition of the fracture with a view to planning treatment, and can identify more complex patterns than those that might initially appear on plain X-ray, with implications for later functional outcomes.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Conservative treatment is reserved for fractures that are not displaced or if the patient has a major concomitant medical disease and very low functional demand.

Moreover, the onset of complications, such as lack of consolidation or avascular necrosis in the context of elbow instability, can result in a very debilitating condition for an active person, leaving the surgeon with the problem of finding a satisfactory surgical solution.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the clinical case that we present below, we describe the evolution of a complex articular fracture of the distal humerus operated on several occasions, which eventually required implantation of a capitellar resurfacing prosthesis and the reconstruction of the external ligament complex by autologous ligamentoplasty with the palmaris longus and the tricipital fascia.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0030">Clinical case</span><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient was a 41-year-old, right-handed manual worker who suffered a fall on his dominant arm when he left his house in December 2013.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">On admission to the Emergency Department, he presented pain and functional impotence in the right elbow, distal neurovascular examination was normal. Antero-posterior and lateral X-rays showed an articular fracture of the distal humerus with at least capitellar involvement (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>A, B). The affected limb was immobilised with a brachial-antebrachial splint and a CT scan revealed a capitellar fracture in various fragments with extension to the trochlea (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>C, D), the fracture was classified as a AO/OTA type B3.3 or Bryan and Morrey type IV, as modified by Mckee.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a></p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient was operated 6 days after the trauma using a posterior approach with osteotomy of the olecranon. The fracture was synthesised with 3 Acutrak screws, 2 for the capitellar fracture and another for the fracture that was affecting the internal area of the trochlea. The osteotomy of the olecranon was closed using a plate (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>E, F).</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">During the first 2 months, the patient made good progress, and the pain and elbow joint range of motion gradually improved.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">From the third month after the osteosynthesis, the patient reported an increase in pain, and had articular movement of 110° flexion, −10° extension, complete pronation and loss of 15° on supination, and noticed a “clicking” when performing certain movements. The appearance of the scar was normal, with no signs of infection. Antero-posterior and lateral X-rays showed avascular necrosis of the capitellum with protrusion towards the joint of part of the osteosynthesis material, therefore further surgery was proposed to the patient (and took place 8 months after the first operation) to remove these screws, since it was thought that they were the main cause of the pain.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However, the patient continued to experience symptoms of pain, loss of strength and instability in the elbow on applying varus-valgus force. He also had pain in his right wrist and slight radial shortening of around 3<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm compared to the contralateral wrist, which indicated some involvement of the interosseous membrane. An X-ray of the elbow showed significant degenerative changes in the capitellar region of the distal humerus (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>A, B).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Therefore, 14 months after the osteosynthesis, and after assessing the different surgical options bearing in mind the type of injury, and the age and activity of the patient, an implantation of a metal hemiarthroplasy and capitellar resurfacing was decided (LRE, Biomet, United Kingdom). The surgical approach was over the previous scar before the posterior approach, but creating an antero-external extension of same, on elevating the insertion of the extensor musculature of the fingers and the anterior capsule to achieve correct visualisation of the external joint area. We only had two prosthetic sizes of the capitellar component, which had to be implanted in line with the epicondylar column forming an angle of about 60° with the longitudinal axis of the humerus. This position was determined with needles using a system of cannulated guides. The prosthesis was cemented to improve anchoring due to the bone loss in the capitellum. The joint surface of the radial head was acceptable in appearance although it had an eccentric marginal injury (possibly caused by the protrusion of the screws) for this reason it was not prosthetised. Due to the absence of competence of the lateral ligament complex of the elbow, which had in reality been replaced by fibrous tissue, we used an autologous plasty for its reconstruction obtained with the tendon of the palmaris longus supplemented with tricipital fascia, fixing it through bone tunnels to a metal anchorage (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>C–E).</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The elbow was immobilised postoperatively with a brachial-antebrachial splint for 2 weeks, then rehabilitation treatment commenced.</p></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Results</span><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Already in the first weeks after the hemiarthroplasty, the patient reported very significant improvement in his symptoms, the pain had disappeared and in the projection that presented when he forced the articular movement of the elbow.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The X-ray one year after implantation of the prosthesis and reconstruction of the ligament, showed correct joint alignment with no radiological signs of loosening (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>F), with some degenerative changes in the cubito-humeral joint but with no functional impact.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">On clinical examination at 18 months after the operation, the patient had almost complete range of motion of the elbow, with a loss of 10° in flexion and 5° in extension compared to the contralateral elbow. Pronosupination was normal, and the patient only reported occasional discomfort that did not require any form of analgesia.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient experienced major improvement in elbow function, from a score of 60 points on the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) at the consultation prior to the resurfacing arthroplasty, to 85 points after the procedure.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient is currently working and is able to perform non-contact sports using the operated limb.</p></span><span id="sec0020" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0040">Discussion</span><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Symptomatic post-traumatic arthritis of the elbow in young adults currently has no satisfactory solution; a search of the bibliography revealed few references to this disorder. If conservative treatment fails, we can indicate various surgical procedures to achieve clinical improvement. Of the different options, we attempt to avoid total elbow arthroplasty in this population, since complications associated with the survival of the implant are very common due to the group's high physical demands.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Articular fractures of the external column of the humerus are usually caused by a fall on the hand or elbow, and the force is transmitted from the radial head to the external region of the trochlea, almost always creating bone disruption in the coronal plane. Diagnosis is achieved by clinical examination and anteroposterior and lateral X-rays, the latter occasionally shows projection of the “double arch sign”. If this sign is not seen, this might be due to the internal rotation of the capitellum and the trochlear component in Mckee type IV fractures.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A CT scan of the elbow is recommended so as not to underestimate these injuries, to better define their morphology and demonstrate the presence of medial extension towards the trochlea, metaphyseal comminution, radial head injury or ligament involvement. This will enable us to choose the most appropriate surgical approach to fully expose the fracture, increasing the possibilities of obtaining a better functional outcome having achieved improved anatomical restitution.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> In our case we used the posterior approach with osteotomy of the olecranon in an attempt to achieve the widest articular view possible, since there was also medial joint involvement; although it is true that with external Kocher or Kaplan approaches the two most external thirds of the distal humerus joint surface can be well visualised.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Headless cannulated screws are used for osteosynthesis of fractures in this anatomical region, to provide rigid fixation of the articular fragments. On occasion, if these fragments are too small to be synthesised they are removed. It can also be necessary to use support plates and a graft if there is significant bone loss in the metaphyseal area.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">“Acute” capitellar joint replacement has been described but is not routinely used. Preservation of the capitellum using osteosynthesis techniques is recommended, especially in young patients, since its removal can cause posterolateral instability of the elbow if the collateral ligaments are involved.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The complications of articular fractures of the distal humerus include a loss of the elbow's full range of motion, avascular necrosis, pain, degenerative articular changes and instability. The latter is sometimes discovered even after consolidation of the fracture. Avascular necrosis secondary to a capitellar fracture is not a common complication, ranging between 0% and 30%.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Therefore, is it recommended that synthesis should be attempted even if the bone fragments are not anchored to the soft tissues.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The incidence of post-traumatic arthritis is quite low in the series consulted. In our case, we had a capitellar fracture in several fragments majorly involving and impacting the joint cartilage, as can be seen on the CT slices, and might have been a determining factor for the early development of arthritis of the external joint compartment that occurred. In our patient there was also associated instability on applying valgus force to the elbow and pain in the wrist, which was not appreciated on the initial examination after the osteosynthesis.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The two surgical options that we thought were most appropriate in this case can be summarised as follows:</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">First, to perform an interposition arthroplasty in the radial-capitellar joint compartment with the anconeus, debriding the affected articular areas in the same procedure. This method has been used successfully on occasion for the treatment of arthritis in the elbow,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> but several previous operations might involve muscular damage and fibrosis, and therefore it might be difficult to interpose this muscle effectively.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The technique we used was to perform a capitellar resurfacing hemiarthroplasty exclusively, since the humero-cubital<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> joint was sufficiently preserved. Full joint replacement of the elbow was discounted for this reason, and due to the patient's age.</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This surgical procedure is rarely used and can be undertaken together with the prosthetic replacement of the radial head, if it is also involved.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8,9</span></a> In this case, we did not consider replacing the radial head as we found it to be acceptable on surgical examination and because this was a young patient. In line with the opinion of other authors,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> arthroplasty of the radial head can be performed later if degenerative changes appear with clinical repercussions.</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The other point that was difficult to resolve was stabilisation of the lateral compartment of the elbow, because the external lateral ligament had been replaced by incompetent fibrous tissue, and we used an autologous ligamentoplasty with the palmaris longus reinforced with tricipital fascia. Ligamentoplasty is the most usual procedure to solve this type of instability.</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To conclude, we must highlight that the use of capitellar resurfacing arthroplasty to treat the sequelae of articular fractures of the external column of the humerus can, in selected cases, significantly improve these patients’ quality of life, in eliminating or significantly reducing symptoms of pain, maintaining a good range of movement in the elbow, and finally–and we consider this an important factor–it does not rule out the possibility of other rescue techniques such as allograft of the distal humerus or total elbow arthroplasty if necessary in the future.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0045">Level of evidence</span><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Level of evidence: <span class="elsevierStyleSmallCaps">V</span>.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0050">Ethical disclosures</span><span id="sec0035" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0055">Protection of human and animal subjects</span><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that neither human nor animal testing have been carried out under this research.</p></span><span id="sec0040" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0060">Confidentiality of data</span><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have complied with their work centre protocols for the publication of patient data.</p></span><span id="sec0045" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0065">Right to privacy and informed consent</span><p id="par0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that no patients’ data appear in this article.</p></span></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:11 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres972068" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec942633" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres972067" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec942632" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Clinical case" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Level of evidence" ] 9 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Ethical disclosures" "secciones" => array:3 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Protection of human and animal subjects" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0040" "titulo" => "Confidentiality of data" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0045" "titulo" => "Right to privacy and informed consent" ] ] ] 10 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2017-02-11" "fechaAceptado" => "2017-09-03" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec942633" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Capitellum fracture" 1 => "Posttraumatic arthritis" 2 => "Resurfacing hemiarthroplasty" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec942632" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Fractura de capitellum" 1 => "Artrosis postraumática" 2 => "Hemiartroplastia de resuperficialización" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Symptomatic posttraumatic arthritis of the elbow in young patients is a disorder for which there is currently no satisfactory solution.
